Default Tips, Ideas, and Advice for proper Cooling

What are all you guys doing for cooling? Not only high hp high dollar setups, but the regular street guys that daily drive and track their car (ie road race as there is more stress in that enviornment).

Also what are your thoughts on back door intercoolers and intercoolers with the single endtank (not sure of the name), also top mount coolers if you guys run.

Better thrmostats, coolant additives, radiators (full size or civic), or even oil weight as it plays a part somewhat

Here is a trick from the circle track guys when working on baffling the airflow for better cooling=

Use Duct Tape on the baffling seams. Seriously.

i got factory cooler, the one behind oil filter. i run thicker grade oil. 5w40 during winter, may try 5w50.. and right now just switched to 15w50.. i do frequent replacement of ignition components.. like spark plugs every 3-5k miles, dist. rotor and cap every 15-25k miles.
